My Summary
About Me

My Experience
I aim to provide a normal daily routine and environment incorporating all the things a child would ordinarily encounter with their parents. I follow and I am guided by the children's interest/s and the EYFS frame work.
I plan the children’s day to make the most of the opportunities available to them, both here at my home as well as out and about in the community. I believe that children with me have the best start in life.
To give you an idea of what we do: We play in the garden, go on country walks, go to groups, to the farm/ zoo, the library, do craft and messy play, sing songs, reading, dress up, play with construction toys, imaginative play, sand, play dough, puzzles, card and board games, play in cardboard boxes, make cakes, use the computer and any combination of the above and much more, I follow and am guided by the children's interests.
